When it comes in ahead of schedule, under-budget, bug-free and is accepted by the client who offers you a large bonus for your efforts and a new contract.

When I was a coder, we worked on algorithms. Today, we memorize APIs for countless libraries — those libraries have the algorithms - Eric Allman

He's an accountant, so you might be correct.

Items 1 (ahead of schedule), 2 (under-budget), and 3 (bug-free) are neither necessary nor sufficient. Client/customer acceptance, as signified by the fact they paid you, is the sole criteria for a successful programmer.
None of the criteria, with the possible exception of 'bug-free', are conditions that impact my happiness as a programmer. For me, as bug-free as I can make it is a minimum condition for happiness with a piece of code.

Exactly, because doing just one impossible thing a day isn't enough.

Didn't your parents explain that to you?

Having the users constantly thank you for your brilliance.
That's #1 for me.
*smiles* "Oh, just doing my job..!"
#2 is having the right music while coding...

Working on your own software products

When that happens, Programing = Art.

yes, I think this is the final stage before moving to managerial and commercial stage

when after hours and hours of debugging you find the root of the bug in your code.
|
|
|
|
|
...which opens a doorway to the new universe of bugs
|
|
|
|
|
It's sort of ambivalent feeling, because finding your bug usually shows you, how stupid were you while writing this particular piece of code. Unless it's a bug of someone else of course .

feeling of creating something,, or contributing something worthy enough makes me a happy one..

Clear requirements, sane deadlines, reliable hardware and software, a reasonably free hand to admin his own machine, and time-and-a-half for overtime.

For myself?
- Stable requirements;
- A clean development environment;
- Absolutely no interference from management!
